When I was just a little girl
Que Sera Sera Doris Day |
| I really like that song, and I keep singing it at bus stops too. Unfortunately, that's the only verse I know, so I repeat it 10-20 times...it can get nauxious. Actualy, I find myself singing a lot at bus stops. (After all, that's where I spent an hour or two every day.) Last night I was in the middle of "People are people" by Depeche Mode, when this strange guy wearing a poncho with bells knocked on my shoulder. When I turned around, he went "I just had to tell you that I *love* your scarf, it's just coool". I blushed a bit, and he asked where it was from, so I said "Egypt", and he flipped out. It barely calmed him down when I explained it was my friend who'd gotten it there. Then he left after telling me to have "a joyous and wonderful evening". That pretty much made my day :) (That, and me and Jesica making fresh french fries, our new addiction. I LOVE peeling potatoes, and cutting them into pieces, I don't even mind watching over them as they fry in the oil. It's -so- delicious!) |
| I'm not going to see The Wedding Singer tonight :( (I hope Adam can find it in his heart to forgive me..it'd just get too expensive, especialy since I'd have to take a shuttle back and all. Besides, I've never gone to the movies by myself here, so far. it'll be scary enough daytime 8(). Me and Jesica might go to the dollar theater and catch something though (I'm hoping for "Eve's Bayou":). THEEEEn tomorrow I'll go see The Wedding Singer (at a cheap matine price 8), and after that..I'll go shop at FoodLion. I don't even have milk or cheese at home! I've been putting shopping off for way too long...and I need some fresh fruit and vegetables, I mean..I AM a vegetarian, and I do need the stuff...maybe that's why I've been so sleepy this week? I've slept over 21 hours since wednesday morning! BWAH! It's not my fault though, I really have to be cautious about money, now that I don't..y'know...have any. |

I wish I could afford something in Anamart, I would love to give some support to keeping her site up, and hey, it'd feel cool to have something from her, like a t-shirt or so, but alais, won't happen. That's another downside to being broke I guess 8(. I'm so hypocritical though, because..I plan on sending for that video -Jerry Sprigner - Too hot for TV!..hehe! You know, when you see the add for that thing, and you think to yourself "Now who in their right mind BUYS that?", you'll finaly know. I DO! Not that I ever have before, but I want it now...I just find the Jerry Springer show to be the trashiest of trashy, and yet I want weird stuff from it, coz people always react so heavily when I proclaim my affection for the show. At least I like the Jerry Springer Show aswell as Shakespeare plays, so :P~ It's kind of fascinating to me, this whole fan thing. I mean, I consider myself a huge fan of a zillion things, and I'd pay money to see that movie, or have this cd, or even drink from the mug. I think the first sign your'e a bit famous is when you end up on a T-shirt. I would be so terrified, and yet thrilled to death if I met someone on the street, with my pic on his or her chest. (Unless it had a bulls' eye on it, or something equaly negative, of course ;). I think most of all it would scare me though. Especialy if I wasn't famous, and had no official t-shirts available *grin*. Actualy, I once expressed a desire to have a t-shirt with a former boyfriend's picture on it. I'm quite lucky that never happened. I'd hate having to cut a good t-shirt into shreds just because sweet turned to sour. |

I can't believe the Olympics are on..like..NOW! [insert whine here] I have NEVER missed the Olympics before, and now I don't even know what the opening ceremony was like. I'm so stressed out about this =( I know it's corny, but the Olympic games are the only sport kind of thing I watch. It's also always been one of the very few things me and my brother have had in common. One of the proudest events was when the Swedish hockey team beat the Canadian in the finals some year..Lillehammer -94? Perhaps. He sat in his room and watched his tv, I sat in mine and watched my tv, and we screamed and yelled loud enough to hear each other. (It was loud enough to be heard DOWNSTAIRS were our relatives were assembled to have an early christmas dinner 8) I screamed so much when 'we' won, I lost my voice...and trust me, it takes *a lot* for that to happen! I'm stuck now going through various pages online to try and figure out what exactly it is that I've missed. Not much, it seems ;) I just get so unusualy patriotic when it comes to the Olympic Games, which is terribly odd, as I find most sports dorky and quite unnecessary, as with the constant squibbeling over nationalities, and whether this or that team could kick that other teams' butt...it's just such a waste of time. Enjoy the sports, feel healhty, gain things, but DON'T start freakin' hostile wars over what team's better at kicking a ball into the other team's net, okay?:P SWEDEN BEAT THE US, HA - HA! I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me, it won't happen again... I think 8) |

I'm not really superstitious, but still...it's friday the 13'th. All my classes are over for the day, and they all went well, so my question now is: What's left of today that can go wrong? I guess the bus can get hi-jacked into a Speed 3, and there are plenty of stairs I can fall down, but still. Also, it feels plain WRONG not to rent and watch Friday the 13'th tonight 8( (I left my copy of the movie back home in sweden :() I really need to grow up. I keep watching these horror flicks and scary things on tv, and I get SCARED SHITLESS every time! It got really bad last sunday, when I was home alone...First I watched the X-files; the episode was written by Stephen King. It creeped me out! I DON'T LIKE possessed dolls, or people who try to scratch their eyes out. As if that wasn't enough, I found something called "Ghost Stories" on NBC...the first story was about a babysitter that comes to a house and is left there with the child...although she never SEES the child. He terrorizes her from the other side of the door of his room, by using supernatural powers. It -terrified- me, because even though one never got to see the child, I kept imagening him behind that door, being a mis shapened 30'year old or so, grinning as the babysitter opened the door, still speaking with that young boy voice. *shrug* My imagination can be mean sometimes 8(. |
| And now, I better go pee, then catch the bus, in order to get home before it gets DARK outside. I rambled on here quite a bit, didn't I? :) |
Monday, February 16I'm So excited! And I just can't hide it! *andyandyandy*! Can you believe that? I'm going to see Andy Richter of Late Show With Conan O'Brien in a few houuuuurssss ahahahauhauaha!! I was supposed to go with Gene (I was about to say 'a friend of the family', heh, well, a friend of..the roomies? Does that sound right?), but he left a voicemail message last night saying he couldn't come, which's fine by me, only...saying that the night before is kind'a late, don't you think? Nevermind. I only wanted company because it's on the UNC campus, and I've only been there a few times, never on my own. I think I can find my way, but still. And then I have to go into the actual building and...FACE ALL THE PEOPLE. That's really scaring me right now. I hope I get there early enough so I can get to my seat without having to pass any people sitting. I HATE doing that, because I always feel so incredibly huge and clumpsy when I have to try and squeeze by half a row of people sitting down. And I'd rather hold it in for hours than get up to pee 8( |
| Did I ever mention I can't stand my english teacher? Well there, said it again. He has a rotten attitude, which makes ME show an even worse attitude back. *brrr* |

Another successful weekend of doing..nothing passed. WeEEe. Friday: Went to school. Spent 3+ hrs online, which was yummie, because I MISS being able to be on for 8 hrs =( I never get anything done anymore, I'm too busy catching up with this and that and doing this diary that I just can't seem to find time to reorganize and work through and finish subpages here, or ad new stuff. It's making me all pissy too, but there's nothing I can do about it really. I might have some things planned for after springbreak though :) Went home. Went out to eat with Jesica and Gene. We drove around for 3 hrs, trying to find someplace they felt like eating at, that didn't have a zillion people waiting for a table. We ended up at some place called Lonestar saloon (or something like that). It was HILARIOUS! First of all they had barrels with peanuts. Anybody could just scoop a bunch up in a cup and walk around while eating them. UNPEELED. The floors were semi covered in peanut shells!! That shocked me to no end. -Peels-on-the-floors!!! I ended up with a sort of okay salad, and fries that were sort of okay too. It was okay. Hehe. The BUTTER was white and salty and weird though 8( This country...I don't know what it is, but I have a real hard time finding good bread, good dairy products, good fresh orange juice that ISN'T from concentrate and things like that. And I haven't found any vegetarian food yet, except for frozen vegetables. I miss veggy sausages and just...stuff =( Got home at..hmm..11? Something. Watched taped Seinfeld with Aziza, sara (her little sister) and Joe (friend of Aziza's, and me, sort of, I guess :). That ended, and E.R came on...Aziza and sara went to bed around midnight/12.30, me and Joe watched some more E.R, and THEN - there he waaaas...Adam on Conan =) I taped it, doh, it's now on my official Adam Sandler tape...he even sang a really good song from his latest cd :) Then me and Joe talked for...hmmm..some hours, I dunno, I think he left at 2 or 2.30, something. I couldn't go to sleep, so I watched tv for a bit. |

Saturday Got up at, oh, noon? Got comments from Jesica regarding the huuuuuge bags under my eyes. They were hilarious, I looked like someone'd punched me, ehheh. We went and shopped (a bad habit 8(, we spend tooo much money grrr). I found an unopened, unclaimed soda can in a vending machine. EeeE :) bright side - I HAVE FOOD. I bought wonderful, fresh green vegetables...I almost drool everytime I open my veggy box and see it filled with salad and cucumbers and green peppers and carrotts...MmmMmMm. In the evening, I started to play fashionmodel - I think I tried on everything I have that I never wear, including my promdress (which I will be wearing on thursday, for Grease!) and my featherboa. I haven't played "Dressup" in wayyyy too long. I just realized though, I have none of my skirts with me! I only have boring pants 8( Me, Aziza, Joe and his brother Andrew (who has an uncanny resemblance to a guy I knew some years ago, everytime I see Andrew my brain goes "EEK!") watched tv. I think? My memory fails me. heh. When they left/went to bed, I watched the last hour of Field of Dreams on tv. I cried the entire time. What IS it with me and baseball movies? I even cry to Major League II (oh come ON, when they put on "Wild Thing", and Charlie Sheen finaly understands that his new slick business look/approach to baseball isn't working, and he goes back to his original look from the first movie, how can I NOT cry?) I *love* Field of Dreams, it's definately one of my favourite ever movies. I always watch that movie on my own though, and I speak my squeek-a-bawl language meanwhile. Aoooow "Build it and he will come" that is so wiiiiiisee eeee this is soooo goood o look!! It's Shoeless Joe Jackson!Aaaaaaaw! *insert squeaky noises and gurgeling* Oh my god! James Earle Jone's GOING INTO THE CORN! He's laughing! YES! That means heaven must be wonderfuuuuuul....aaaw!*insert squeaky noises and gurgeling* Look at all those cars driving towards their house! THEY'RE GONNA MAKE IT! Love love aaaaaaw....*insert squeaky noises and gurgeling ad absurdum* |

Sunday Woke up at 1.30. Watched 3 hours of Adam and Drew on MTV. Made biscuits from ready to bake mix. Yum. Took a bath and grooooomed myself for 2 hours while listening to "Violator", Depeche Mode. Noticed that my skin is ridiculously smooth. It's like my hair. Ergh. I know these are anal things to note, but dammit, it bugs me. I have babyhair and now, babyskin. I think it has something to do with staying indoors all the time, soon my skin'll get all mushy and disgusting, or something. really. Watched the Simpsons ("Let's not blame each other. It's all Millhouse fault!!" [or something like that. I STINK at renmembering exact lines. Sorry if I mutilated it.]) Watched King of The Hill. (I LOVE this show, maybe because I'm not american, and grateful for it ;) Watched The X Files. EIEIEIEIEIE! It bugged me quite a lot. First of all, last episode, written by Stephen King was WONDERFUL. Imagine an episode where Mulder utters the line "Marry me Scully", and where Scully utters the line "Sometimes we have to look to other solutions than the explainable" (paraphrasing dammit). It was reallly cool. Then this episode comes along, written by William Gibson and some other guy (that other guy, I'm sorry. I'm lousy with names :(), and completely ruins everything. Why I say this? Because they drove Scully back to the cave. She kept repeating how everything sounded so unbelievable, and had to act like an ass allthroughout the episode. ("I refuse to believe that this is happening. No. No nono. A satellite is NOT targeting us right this minute to blow this house up. Nono." Take a HINT, when MULDER goes for it - trust him!!! Why would both Mulder and the girl in ridiculous "goth" makeup start to run for real? HUH?) [I know I know, it's just a show, but it's a show I like, and people who mess with it..blergh 8(] Ah well. Got online for 10 minutes, where I found Jessica in the midst of dying her hair at Ladybugs place in Colorado. ORANGE. I got so jellys you could've hit me with a spoon and I would still be vibrating. I think I've finaly settled for dying my hair crayon red now :) I figure I already have sort of red hair (It got refered to as "tangerine" in school - it HAS gotten orange since it started to fade. odd.), so...really really red will get attention, but it won't be, you know, BLUE. Also, it'll fade better :) I'd hate to have an odd colour to my hair in 4 months just because the blue fades weirdly, plus had a strange reaction with my hair. |
| Back to today. IT'S BEEN RAINING for the past 2 hours, and I have to go outside in 10 minutes to catch the last bus back to Chapel Hill. Andy Richter's in about 2 hours :) |

ACK my backpack just broke! The little thingy that closes the top flap tore off 8( I've had this backpack since 7'th grade - and now, of all times, I'll have to find money to buy a new one. Blergh. It's like it's really friday 13'th today instead. EEk the rain. I'll put on my cheap one dollar black knitted cap now and head out into it. I hope my ticket don't get too soaked! Argh!8( On a slightly net-ly note; a girl e-mailed me, saying she liked my PJ Harvey site, and that she'd like it to be in a PJ web ring. Oh my. I told her I'd like that. What if that gets more people to visit this place though? EEeE. 8) |
Wednesday, February 18WARNING: The following post will be very very very very long, and filled with an intimidating amount of superlatives. Beware. |

Andy. Annndy. Andy. RICHTER. I can't believe it. -I-SAW-ANDY-RICHTER-. Now at first I was going to describe the whoooole thing in here. Then I woke up. Instead I'm gunna tell the gossipy fun tidbits, and later put up a sub page telling alll about it, because yes, I'm that lame . AND PROUD. And now, obsessed :) This is the news group post I made to alt.fan.conan-obrien (where I..lurk. Of course.)
Newsgroups: alt.fan.conan-obrien I am so ecstatic Andy was at UNC (University of North Carolina) tonight (Monday, 16/2) with his tour: How To Be A Sidekick, And Other Worthless Crap. GAWD it was hilarious! I haven't laughed that much in aaaages.. or screeamed..or applauded maniacally. If you go to the Conan fan page entitled "Heeeere's Conan!" (sorry, the url escapes me 8(), you can read a transcript of the show (well, a show attended previously by someone else. However, 90% of the content followed this transcript, so...well worth reading, if you haven't already) First of all - I never realized Andy was soooo yummie looking irl! I mean reaaally =) (I know that sounds dorky..nevermind me :P) So, what fun stuff did he share with us, the audience? well, someone asked him what guest on the show had had the worst B.O...after some tiptoeing around the subject, Andy revealed that Fabio had really really really bad breath ("In a charming way, of course, because Fabio is just so charming, y'know"), Rusted Root had a whole cloooud surrounding them, but Yaphet Kotto (he appears on the wonderful show Homicide: Life on the streets) had an amazing B.O, drenched in with a lot of cologne... Q: What was it like to have Jerry Springer on the show? A:" Jerry Springer was basicaly there to promote his video Too Hot for TV <...>, and while they were showing a clip to the audience, Jerry said "I am so embarrassed." How can he be embarrassed? HE'S JERRY SPRINGER!!! The word embarrassed shouldn't even be in his vocabulary!" Someone asked if there was any humour they wouldn't do on the show - He mentioned how they used to play around the office with this cat they used to have....they turned it into a game to hide the cat in a drawer or something, tell whoever was in the room stuff like "Could you open that drawer? I wrote down the cure for cancer on a piece of tuna with mouseblood and put it in there", the guy'd open the drawer, and there the cat'd be...When we all laughed, he said "yeah see you all are laughing, but in the studio, the audience would just go "they're joking about the cure of cancer? I'm not going to laugh at that!" - the joke was the CAT, doh, it wasn't ABOUT the cure for cancer, and so some humour will just never make it outside our office." There was a little huff when Andy had to ask the next person at the microphone if it was a boy or a girl (it was a guy)...the guy got pissy about it, and after the question (forgot what it was, something trivial =() went "You better hope I don't see you in the parkinlot afterwards", and then walked out of the auditorium with the whole audience and Andy, =() went "You better hope I don't see you in the parkinlot afterwards", and then walked out of the auditorium with the whole audience and Andy, watching/laughing.... Someone asked the usual "Is max -really- that weird/freaky??".."Yeah....nah...he just really likes to be on tv. Although I don't know what's up with that smile of his...he'll just do whatever we write for him, he'll smile, we'll hand him some text and he'll read it, like :Alimony - schmalemony - I ain't paying." Someone asked him if he knew that Talksoup had announced a quote by him the alltime best line..the line? "For God's sake, let the bear masturbate!" he didn't know that, and seemed a bit confuzzled about it. (He made some remarks earlier about how Greg Kinnear had gotten a chance to do a test talkshow, and how it had bombed, something Andy gloated a lot in 8) ("Greg Kinnear and all those cute faces he makes...eeerch") (all of this is mostly paraphrasing, btw, my memory suck 8(, if someone else who was there wanna contribute with details/corrections/additions; please, do so :) All and all, it was a great time, if he's coming to some school near you -goooooo-!! As ever, jennie **http://geocities.datacellar.net/SoHo/Lofts/5019**deanna@kajen.com** "FUCK YOU, we were -always- this good!" - Andy Richter
|
| TRUST ME when I say the "I saw Andy Richter Speak!" page is being constructed as we speak, I just don't have any time to write it here...I'll write it at home and put up tomorrow, okay? I knew you'd be okay by that. |
| I was so happy I went alone, because...I would have embarrassed most ANYbody with my behaviour! The seats ahead and next to me were all empty, so I was sitting there on my own..and I HOLLERED, yelled, SCREAMED and everything, while clapping my hands so hard the scar of my right hand hurt. It was funnyt because before Andy came out, I sat by myself, real quiet, and watched all these guys walk in with their gf's "I think he's some kind of stand up comedian or something...it'll be fun"...with 6-7 really dorky college boys behind me.."I swear we're gunna be on conan tonight over satellite! I bet you a dollar!"...they were real loud and everything, trying to start chants and stuff. THEN Andy walks out, and I turn into this drooling loud WOOOOOOOO machine! We saw clips of Andy like in a cut off T shirt, and I kept yelling encouraging "You are TOO great looking!" wooo shouts. Did any of this make sense? it wasn't just me, btw, so it's not like I was distuuuurbing or anything. it was wonderful. IT WAS WONDERFUL. I'm still beaming :) |
| I'm trying to talk Jessica into planning a trip to New York next fall to see one or two tapings of the Conan O'Brien show..she'd be there with her orange hair, me with my future crayon red hair, wearing matching "ANDY AND CONAN ARE GODS" t shirts, hollering...getting a "my god yer freaky" look from Conan himself would make my day :) |

STILL to come in tomorrow's entry (DAMMIT last bus leaves in 4 minutes, now I warned you about a superlong entry, and then didn't produce it...I'm sorry =():
A man called Adam (Sandler).
